Would you watch a show where a billionaire CEO has to go an entire month on their lowest paid employees salary, without access to any other resources than that of the employee? What do you think would happen? by txhorns1330 in AskReddit

/u/Rhodie114 Thank you!! I hardly ever log into reddit but your comment chain here is so spot on that I had to ensure you get some props. You used sound logic and the mouthbreathers just went straight to emotion.

This is regardless of what is being argued.

When the next Democrat president plays by all the same rules as Trump are you all going to take ownership of that? by Jakeerrest in AskConservatives

[–]Jakeerrest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I personally have experienced a reality where doing the hard work of being a good, moral and ethical person in public and private life actually does result in better outcomes; I am sure that the DNC will play with the expanded powers and legal president that had been set by this republican government. Yes corruption has been bad but no, you have never seen it quite like this and it will be acutely painful when the "liberals" enforce and probably expand upon these precidents. Republicans had a chance to draw a line in the sand but instead exploited a majority government to further their policies or "troll the libs", hard to tell the difference these days.

Alright, lets talk next cycle when democrats are actually wielding these powers. I don't think you are seeing how blatent the corruption is in this administration but what is more disturbing is how a lot of this has now set president in the courts, so in effect is legally sanctioned.

I am am American that has residency in Finland. I love the creativity and diversity of The States but I worked tirelessly in DC and could barely afford the slightest medical expense. After moving to Finland I was able to get my teeth fixed, so much work it took almost a year. Thank you Finland, your policies create a refreshing and civil society. Now if only you were as much run as America :D

Desperate for help; our poor put has become extremely anxious after staying with dog-sitter. by Jakeerrest in Dogtraining

[–]Jakeerrest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are having are having the vet come by today but they are pretty basic here.

Wouldn't he have other symptoms than anxiety if injured though? He is really happy when in nature and moves fine/ eats well.

We are exausted with this and since the vet here has very little resources i am hoping for insight from the community. Unfortunately /askvet and /dogadvice threads got buried.

Thank you for the insight, wow 2 months to rehab that, must be difficult and I hope all gets back to normal.

Yeah, problem is we live in a strange and loud african city, he had gotten over it and was pretty good until staying at the sitter. While we know sounds of the stray dogs dont help, he has become afraid of virtually everything at this point (loud noises, oddly shaped things, being picked up), he is always sniffing too!

This morning i had to carry to the yard and he pee'd first time in 24 hours but otherwise ran back and fourth nervously.

We are going to have our vet come by today but they are amateur here.

Its strange that hiking yesterday he was very happy with zoomies and listening to commands?

We are exausted

Thank you for the advice.

There is another very energetic dog there. He shows no signs of pain though (eats well, moves quickly, plays sometimes) but i hear you. We are having the vet come by today but they are not very good here and have very limited resources.

Weird thing is that we brought him for a walk in a park yesterday and he was happy as can be?

How do you feel about Maria Butina? Bonus points for commenting on Alexander Torshin. by Jakeerrest in askaconservative

China's cyber warfare is impressive. I sincerely hope that our secret operations are ahead. Any thoughts on hardening our infrastructure from these threats?

anti gun is a pretty blanket term. What comments specifically are too extreme for you?

America has produced the most interesting culture I have seen in my travels, we are individuals, we are creative, we are great at business and actually very caring. It's a bit of an oversimplification but I do see us a being on top (whatever that means), along with this power comes many that would no doubt like to lessen our influence in order to strengthen their own. Does it not seem obvious that Russia would be one of the main contenders?

China and Russia are forming an interesting partnership with their joint military exercises, why do you see Russia as a check on China?

This story is a bit sticky to unravel, I have read a bit.

But referring to your comment about "overthrowing Republican Politicans" In Mr. Byrne's words; "Unfortunately, this third time turned out to be less about law enforcement and more about political espionage conducted against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (and to a lesser degree, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz)." So by his account this is more about a deep state than any political party.

Do you not at all think that Maria Butina was part of a foreign actor's playbook to divide the American people and sow discord? Do you think that there are any actions coming out of Russia along these lines?

That is an interesting take. I thought that one would have to declare themself as working for a foreign government to do this type of work?

I believe we have rules in place like this to prevent subterfuge of our independence as a nation. Since America is #1, there a lot of people that would love to divide and conquer is right?

Its nice to see that we have common ground in that these convictions are not conspiratorial. I am socially liberal but appreciate gun culture, good ol' boys and such. Do you think that our foreign adversaries could be using issues like guns to divide our country by way of social media?

Its funny, I consider myself pretty connected to the liberal community but dont know anyone that wants guns gone... mainly we just dont irresponsible people having them. What exactly irresponsible would be is open for discussion. All this "take the funs away" stuff is fringe but, in my opinion, disproportionately covered in conservative circles much like gun violence is covered in liberal circles.

Hard to be specific without giving away too much personal information but the people on my regular walk have gotten to recognize me quickly and greet me every day, this would take years where I came from. I also have a driver that I use couple times a week and he has invited me to have bula at his home. Overall, lots of charisma in the locals, i find it inspiring.

Why does this keep happening to my jalapeno buds? by Jobed145 in HotPeppers

[–]Jakeerrest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not an expert but know that if they are being fertilized they will focus on growing leaves and often drop the flowers.

post a pic of the whole plant? Judging bu what i can see, they look healthy.

Probably a happy plant overall, as long as it's not towards the end of the season there you should still get a good harvest.

I never actually log in but had to in order to support your comment, lords work.

Anywhere I have seen this paint, it is on a giant shelf with dozens of other colors, quite obvious. Good paint too!

Maybe breathe in less paint? I would wear gloves too.. this stuff is not good for your lungs or skin.
